Partners and corporate services

We wouldn’t be where we are today without the valuable links and partnerships we’ve built up over the years, within both the public and private sectors.

From the work placements we regularly arrange for our students to our superb business development courses, the University of St Mark & St John’s success and enduring reputation is largely down to the continued respect and support of our partner network.

We provide a huge range of IT training courses, leadership and business management programmes, and well-appointed conference facilities. If you think you or your business could benefit from partnering with the University, we’d love to hear from you.

Conference facilities

Just 20 minutes’ drive from Plymouth’s city centre and the A38, the University campus makes a great spot for meetings, conferences, training and other crucial business gatherings. We can offer a variety of space for 20 to 400 delegates, break-out rooms, all-inclusive prices (laptop, projector, interactive whiteboard, WiFi etc.). Special evening and weekend rates, block-booking discounts, on-site catering, and even access to our state-of-the-art Sports Centre for team-building activities. Pay and Display parking is available on site out of term time and the George Park and Ride is a 5-minute bus journey from the Campus.

“The venue has been easy to book and the catering requirements have all been met…the technological side has been a dream come true” was the feedback from a representative at Devon Chamber of Commerce.
